Hey everyone this post is about if democrocy is fair or not?!? -1 in 3 that lived there were slaves:that would be a lot of slaves and the Athens would have lots of people to do their dirty work -lots of people worshiped a women:sometimes country's don't like women in fact that women wern't considerd as a person in some country's -the full face vale was from Athens:also the full face vale was mostly used for women -people were also fourced into labour:good thing they don't do that in Canada!!

The great Athenian Democracy (Adam R)

I think that Athens was not fair because a third of the population in Athens was slaves. 2 thirds were men and women. women were already disqualified because the Athenians believed that women were possessed. But not only did you have to be male to vote, you mother and father both had to be born in Athens, AND you had to have completed your military training to be 100% a citizen. So you HAD to be a citizen to vote. But surprisingly, 6000 citizens were able to vote. Anyway back to women being possessed. so since women were thought to be possessed they were needed to be controlled to they made women have to wear special clothes that hid there faces from people. But they would only show there faces to their husbands. So back to slaves. Slave were mostly prisoners of war and once they were captured they lost all their rights, so if they were once free men/women, they would have lost lots of their rights. They had lots of watchtowers to keep their prisoners/slaves under 24 hour watch. They were called "man footed things"(stupid name right?). Anyway, back to voting. Athens would guesstimate the vote and see witch side won. Special people who were especially skilled would guesstimate. they would vote on how they would run their lives. If the people REALLY disliked an opinion, they would boo him down. so those are the reasons i think Athens was unfair but others might think differently. This is my blog post about Athens by Adam R.

Athens Democracy Fair or Not

I don't think that the Athens were fair because they basically forced about a hundred people to do all the speaking and stuff. They also made a bunch of married women wear these dresses that had a mask that they need to were when ever doing anything the only time they could ever take it off was when they were with family in there houses. I also think its unfair since they had so many slaves in the video they said every 1-10 people born usually become slaves for the government and were separated from there families and forced to work. And most of them never got to see there families ever again. They also said that only 1-20 slaves get's released but when they do get released they need to run around looking for there parents but I don't think they will because they probably will get released when there older and there parents wont remember them. And they probably would get scared if they don't remember you and you pop out and say Mom Dad.

tool a klepsydra abbie

1a)what is it you ask a tool a klepsydra is a water clock. 1b)it was used for timing how long oral presentations were in the jury and council 2) where is it from it's from Egypt but then later on it went to Athens later on 3)who made made it. It's unknown but I believe it was someone who wanted the oral speeches to be a fair length of time 4) when was it made 2000b.c 5)what it teaches me is that they wanted to make the equal lengths of time for the speeches It also teaches me that they wanted to start making an equal government.

Help I am stuck with the Athens

Dear Great Aunt Susie How are you? I am not doing so great, as you know I was forced to join the army when I was only twelve along with papa, some men and some other boys my age. Unfortunately I was kidnapped along with the other boys my age, but papa and the other men were taken away and starved to death. I was taken straight to Greece to work as a slave for the citizens and their families, at the time I was happy to be alive and away from war but as I walked down the street hand cuffed to my good friend Mike, with solders all around us it felt like I was a prisoner only I wasn't a cell the soldiers had ordered us to clean the streets while they looked for families that were willing to pay big money for one of us. I can not describe to you how much garbage were in those streets I must have been cleaning for at least three hours when a family with two young children walked over with one of the soldiers he said to them "take your pick" what? I thought we are humans not dogs can't they see that? Two days after I had moved in with the family I learnt that I was now going to be treated like a dog. Ten years later and here I am still stuck with the same family only now I have learnt a few things such as slaves are like pets if they are "bad" they do not get food (e.g the first Sunday I took the day off like back in Littleton we always celebrate God on Sundays little as I knew I was not aloud the day off and didn't eat for three days.) After that it was the town voting day and all citizens were encouraged to vote, great I thought, an accuse to leave the house for a few hours so off I went to vote, soon to find out that I couldn't vote.So what can I do I thought, well I can clean the house pick up garbage and eat the scraps of the familie that owns me. If there's a way that you can help me I would appritiate it! Sincerely, Tommy Brohaged

Athens video

don’t think that the Athens democracy was fair because, there were only about 75 or 100 people who moved the buildings and did all the speaking and also women were seen as spirits and they needed to be watched at all times so that was also not fair and people were bought and sold to random people that they don’t even know and of that happened to me then I would be very uncomfortable for a long while and that should never happen to kids and it is totally unfair and it’s hard to believe that the people running the place would allow that. I am really glad that it is not allowed in this time but it could be aloud somewhere else in the world but it shouldn’t be allowed unless you really don’t want the kid or something I guess it would give you money and save food for you and many someone else.
